A light and nippy pushchair ideal for navigating public transport and busy shops, but you'll have to invest in a compatible car seat for it to be suitable from birth.

Our review

Looking for a light and nippy second-stage pushchair that doesn’t compromise on comfort and features? The ABC Design Avito could just be what you’re looking for. You can pick one up for just under £200, so it is a more expensive option that the majority of lightweight models, but does have added functionality that makes it well worth the extra pennies.

The seat does recline, but not to a fully flat position, so is only suitable for babies from six months old. There is, though, the option of adding the ABC Design Risus 0+ car seat to form a travel system, suitable from birth. This makes getting out and about with your baby much easier, as you can transport them from house, to car, to shops and back again without disturbing them or taking them out of their seat. Remember though that newborns and young babies should not be left in their car seat for more than 2-3 hours for optimum breathing and spine development.

Weighing in at only 6.7kg, the Avito is extremely light and easy to maneuver, and folds compactly for easy storage. You can also remove the wheels to make it even smaller for storing in tiny spaces.

The Avito is full of clever features. It has a removable bumper bar, which makes getting your tot in and out much easier, and it also can be height-adjusted to fit different age children. The pushchair handle can also be height-adjusted, so if you or your partner are very tall or short you can push much more comfortably.

There’s also a five-point harness for extra security and a practical and easy-to-operate parking brake to stop the pushchair from rolling away when applied

The wheels are fitted with ball bearings, which make them run very smoothly, even over bumpier terrain. The integrated wheel suspension and front swivel wheels also help with handling and maneuverability over rough ground.

Included in the price is a raincover, reflective safety strips and also a footmuff, which adds to the overall value.

Netmums' verdict

Compact in size, light in weight, but with a surprisingly roomy seat, the Avito is a great buy for older babies and toddlers, just a shame it’s not suitable for newborns without using a car seat.

What the manufacturer says

The Avito is the perfect companion to take on your next outing! Its compact size when folded and the handy transport lock mean that it is also easy to transport in smaller vehicles. The buggy is also a real lightweight thanks to the aluminium frame. The Avito is so compact when folded that it easily fits into smaller vehicles, and it is genuinely light thanks to its aluminium frame. Due to the use of a Group 0+ car seat, the Avito can also be converted into a travel system. The Avito has swivel wheels at the front, making it particularly easy to manoeuvre. The adjustable pushbar can be raised or lowered to suit different heights. The height-adjustable handlebar is easily adapted to fit the person pushing the buggy. And if the outing is going to take a little longer than normal then the adjustable backrest and sprung rear axle will lull baby off to sleep for a good nap!
